If I asked you what your ideal adventure bike would be, chances are a good chunk of you would say the BMW R 1250 GS. Ever since its debut—even back in its 1200 form—the BMW GS set the benchmark for the big-bore adventure bike segment. Indeed, it was quite the benchmark, as even though the platform is already a few years old, it continues to assert its dominance in the midst of more modern, technologically advanced machinery.
To say that the BMW R 1250 GS is due for a major update will come as a surprise to nobody. In fact, the notion of a brand new, more powerful, and more technologically advanced R 1300 GS is something that’s been circulating for several months now. It’s pretty much a known fact at this point, as BMW has already trademarked the name in multiple markets.
